2 Kings 8:19 "Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children."
I have been enjoying my daily Bible reading. :) Right now, I'm learning about the Kings of Israel and the Kings of Judah. WHAT A MESS! The Kings of Israel ruled over ten tribes of Jacob, whereas the Kings of Judah ruled over two tribes of Jacob. The Kings of Israel began with the reign of Jeroboam. I learned that he was NOT a descendant of David, something I always assumed before. Another fact is that the Kings of Israel went through Four Dynasties up to where I'm reading. Because of the great evil of the king of each dynasties, God proclaims that their entire families would be destroy, and they were! BUT.....
Because God said that David's seed would always have a seat on the thrown, God was faithful to His promise and even when a descendant of David who ruled was evil, God wouldn't destroy the line of David. How wonderful to know that we can depend on God's promises in our own lives!
